Abstract: Method for improving selectivity and productivity during purification of charged macromolecules and particles by electrofiltration by means of membranes in the electric filed. The ratio between the electric field and the permeate flow through the membrane is kept constant.

Abstract: Method and appliance for carrying out membrane electrophoresis using microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes, wherein the electroosmotic flow which develops in the membrane pores is reduced or offset by pressure superposition.

Abstract: Ceramic nanofiltration membrane for use with organic solvents is produced by impregnating a mesoporous ceramic membrane with a hydrophobing agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of purified elastomers prepared by emulsion polymerization, wherein the level of impurity is reduced by up to 99 wt. %, expressed in terms of the unpurified elastomer. The present invention also relates to elastomers which can be obtained by the method according to the present invention, to the use of the elastomers for the production of all types of products, and to the product which is produced by processing the elastomer which can be obtained by the method according to the present invention.

Abstract: A device and a process are described for membrane electrophoresis or electrofiltration. The device contains at least one input chamber, one output chamber, and one cathode chamber and anode chamber each, whereby the individual chambers are separated from one another by membranes, and are integrated into a permanently attached module with membranes, and whereby the electrodes are integrated into the module, and the module is connected to constructions enabling continuous flow through the input and output chambers, as well as through the electrode chambers.
